INSPIRATION - summer outfits '14

Hello guys! 

I feel like I start every blog post with the exact same greeting.. 

I've been planning and putting together this post for the past week or so and I'm very excited to finally publish this ! My taste in fashion seems to change every other month and I'm still kinda looking for "my own style". I like to mix and match all kind of different styles together. Lately I've been inspired by floral pattern clothes, snapbacks and simple yet feminine street...kind of..style? Does that make sense? hahah~ Anyway! Here we go. 6 outfits I put together that I personally think are in and cute and would totally wear. 

#1 - Girly street style
Starting with my favorite. Simple crop top with black high waisted skinny jeans, canvas sneakers, a snap back and a floral backpack. I think this is really casual yet all the floral prints make it still look girly. An outfit you can easily put together and wear pretty much anywhere.

#2 - Sporty & casual
Short culottes are, I swear, the most comfortable piece of clothing, ever. They feel as comfortable as shorts yet look as cute as a mini skirt. These culottes from RyuRyu come with a belt that gives the impression of a sweater wrapped around your hips (Cute, right?), it makes the outfit "sporty" yet it still looks casual and nice. I paired them up with a Mickey mouse crop top, black leather backpack, white lace-up oxfords and a "mercer" watch from Michael Kors. Not a lot of color in this outfit, but good old black & white can never look boring.

 #3 - The boyfriend look

Who wouldn't like the super casual boyfriend style once in a while? H&M's boyfriend jeans combined with a white LA x CA muscle t-shirt. And, well, since I'm having a major floral phase going on, VANS' floral sneakers.  Could work with a pair of simple high heels as well if you rolled up the jeans and tied the hem of the shirt to make it a bit shorter.

#4 - Cute & girly
This is also one of my favorites. I absolutely love the blouse and the mini bag. PUMA's bright red wedge sneakers add color to the outfit and still keep it feminine, you know, despite being sneakers. How surprising I once again chose something with a floral print on it--

#5 - Classy & chic
I need that backpack. It's gorgeous. And I need it. Otherwise, this is, once again, one of those "black 'n white" outfits that don't really even need any color, if you ask me. The gold jewelry kinda makes up for the lack of color, and also instantly creates this "expensive" illusion. This look is also very easy to create, as pretty much all the stores are full of crop tops and jersey skirts. Can also be worn (and will look gorgeous) with a pair of high heels, but since I have a serious height complex I chose Michael kors' gladiator sandals which, in my opinion, look very classy and suit this look as well.

#6 - Simple bohemian

Now I know this outfit isn't really the actual "bohemian" style but I had no idea what else to call it, and in my opinion this is a good "base" for a bohemian outfit. I'd tug the loose blouse inside those high waisted shorts or / and maybe wear a brown belt with the shirt to give it more posture. I personally love gladiator sandals (especially if they have studs on them, how classy is that) but a pair of cute fringe boots would also go well together with this outfit and at the same time make it a lot more bohemian if you're looking to go more into that direction. 

So there you go~ My current fashion inspirations. What do you think? Did you find any outfits you like? which one is your favorite?

Särkänniemi Park @ Tampere, Finland

Hello guys !

Yesterday Sara & I went to an amusement park called "Särkänniemi" in a city of Tampere here in Finland. Had a blast, even though it was a wayyy too hot day. I love amusement parks & all kinds of crazy rides and roller-coasters and it's always so cheery and great. I could spend hours just wandering around and enjoying the atmosphere. 

I had my super cute yet super fake MCM backpack that I bought in Spain. Also wore my "get up get down" crop top for the first time. 

Today we went to get some coffee and then had a strawberry picnic in a park near the train station while waiting for Sara's train to arrive. Gonna miss my girl ~ We're getting an outside Jacuzzi next week though, and we're planning to have a small Jacuzzi party in few weeks, hahah~ 

Until the next time~

Summer nights & plans

Hello guys ~ 

Are you enjoying the summer?

Here in Finland the summer didn't really even start until last week, because the whole June was just damn rainy and it kinda killed the mood (at least, for me. I love rain but when it's summer I'd really like to see some of that sun, too).

Sara spent few days at our house few weeks ago. We talked, ate good food, drove around the (empty) city and watched Doctor Stranger. Besides that, I've just been working, taking way too many naps and hanging out at our summer cottage. Yep, that's my summer this year, folks. Sounds exciting, right?

This weekend Sara is coming over again and we're going to an amusement park. Next week we're probably doing a small one day shopping trip to Tallinn with our family. We're also going to visit some relatives and we're planning to go to another amusement park with my friend. So yay for finally having some other plans than napping! hahah~
